I am fascinated with how we see the world of microscopic living things. My approach to exploring this world is multifold: through lab-based research, the history of science and science studies, and visual art. My main interests are in cell and developmental biology and visualization practices and technologies such as microscopy, printmaking, drawing, 3D modeling and printing, and virtual reality.

I strongly believe that emphasizing an interdisciplinary approach to scientific inquiry, such as one that recognizes creative practices and visual thinking as critical components, greatly enriches research and engages a much larger audience.

My thesis project was featured in an article and accompanying video published in STAT and Scientific American. The project was also featured in this Rhode Island NSF EPSCoR article.
